AiiA, N-acyl homoserine lactonase from Bacillus subtilis BS-1

This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-Acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) (Pan et al., 2008).

Usage and Biology

AiiA degrades AHLs, a class of signaling molecules that induce quorum sensing. Quorum sensing triggers the expression of virulence factors in pathogens, including Aeromonas hydrophila, an aquatic bacterium that threatens aquaculture (Coquant et al., 2020; Hlordzi et al., 2020). High expression of AiiA in the probiotic B. subtilis reduces the virulence of A. hydrophila through quorum quenching and saves aquatic animals.
